Saturday:
Tag Day
By Bob Keefer
Every civic-minded East Cleveland
resident who recognizes the need for
S very worthwhile program will
have an opportunity to support one
when the East Cleveland Little
League conducts its “Tag Day” this
Saturday, June 16th.
The entire city will be canvassed
by Little League, Pony League and
Colt League players in their uni
forms who will be supervised by
their manager and coaches during
their house-to-house “safari.” The
boys will be toting small collection
boxes in which they will accept
donations of any denomination.
The money collected during the
Tag Day canvass will be used to
provide operating funds for the
four leagues sponsored by the
ECLLI. When one of the boys rings
your doorbell on Saturday, we hope
that you will contribute so that
bats, balls, uniforms, insurance,
etc., will be available for a summer
of baseball activity for almost 500
East Cleveland boys.
After a ten-day schedule of prac
tice games, the teams in the Little,
Pony and Colt Leagues will be play
ing for “keeps” starting next week.
The weather has been a tremendous
handicap this Spring as the mana
gers have tried to conduct practice
sessions to select their starting team.
The Pony League schedule was
changed due to the bad weather so
that the first three games will not
count in the league standings. Now
that the sun is finally in evidence,
it is hoped that everything will run
more smoothly.

When water supply from the
Nottingham reservoir suddenly
went to zero Monday, due to a
power failure, the switch board at
City Hall was deluged with more
than 700 calls. Two operators tried
to answer the citizens during the
brief cut off.
Oh for a swim at Shaw Pool.
But this cool spot is closed due to
construction delay on both the new
bath house and the school board’s
stadium, It seems builders never
get finished when they think they
are going to. Patience is the word
right now.
Director of Law Stanley Webster
made his first official appearance
at the Zoning Board and the City
Commission this week. In this ca
pacity he sits in on all zoning and
commission sessions, ready to give
legal advice when needed.
Did you by any chance, find a

Chambers School, according to
an announcement made Tuesday
by Recreational Director Roy B.

X-Ray Total
Here 6717
Despite bad weather, a mid-week
holiday and mechanical difficulty
with equipment, 6,717 residents of
East Cleveland had their chests
x-rayed during the June visit of
the Christmas Seal mobile units to
East Cleveland.
Miss Louise Barthold, chairman
of the 1956 campaign, expressed
pleasure over the fact, that, con
sidering the complicating factors,
such a goodly number of East
Clevelanders took advantage of the
opportunity for free chest x-rays.
On Friday 710 persons were
x-rayed at the bus located at
Superior-Euclid shopping center.
This is where the mechanical dif
ficulty delayed operations for two
and a-half hours.
In the total are the 1086 taken
at Shaw High School, 151 at Ursu
line Academy and 66 at the Mc
Gregor Home.
During 1955 the units took 84
per hour for every hour of opera
tion. During 1956, with bad
weather and the two and one half
hour delay and the holiday day, the
units took 85 per hour of operation.
The 1955 increase of 6944 over
the 1954 total of 6202 would un
doubedly have been reflected this
year had not these adverse circum
stances intervened.
Speaking of the program, which
was completed on Saturday, June
9th, Miss Barthold extended her
thanks and the thanks of the com
mittee for the generous support
which was given the sr-ray service
by the various business people who
permitted the buses to be located
in front of their establishments.
“Without support and cooperation
such as this,” she said, “it would
be virtually impossible to conduct
the annual chest x-ray survey. We
are indeed grateful to all con
cerned.”
Miss Barthold pointed out once
again that the films which were
taken during the East Cleveland
survey are now' being read by
physicians and that the reports
should be completed* within the
next three to six weeks. She said
that all who were x-rayed will be
receiving their reports.

Foster Parents For Shaw Senior:
Kiwanis Sponsors
When a ship carrying some
1,000 young men and women from
foreign strands docks in New
York Harbor along about the
middle of August, one of the pas
sengers will be eagerly anticipat
ing his arrival in East Cleveland
and his senior year at Shaw High
School.
The youth will be 17-year-old
Alf Kolbenstvedt, whose father is
superintendent of the ship build
ing yards in Kristiansand, Norway
and whose mother is a cultured
daughter of Sweden. He was born
in London, England while his
father was serving there in the
Allied Navy. His brother Hans, 20,
is taking advance study at Trond
heim, Norway.
Alf is coming here thru the
joint sponsorship of American
Field Service and the Kiwanis
Club of East Cleveland.
Alf’s American foster parents
will be Dr. and Mrs. Homer C.
Alexander, the parents of three
sons, Alan 17, a senior at Shaw
High, Charles, 14, a 9A at Kirk
Jr. High, and John, a 6th grader
at Caledonia Elemetnary School.
While Wayne C. Blough, princi
pal at Shaw High School was in
troducing the Alexanders, Robert
M. Kerr, chairman of the Boys
and Girls Committee of Kiwanis
and its special Interim Committee
working on this program, was in
the New York offices of Ameri
can Field Service presenting the
club’s check of $650 to its direc
tor general, Stephen Galatti.
Mr. Blough explained that the
club was required to submit his
tory oh three families. The final
choice was made by AFS which
bases its selection on circum
stances which the more closely
affiliate themselves with the back
grounds of family and student.
The foster parents assume full
responsibility for the boy while in
City Plants 171
Trees. Replaces
3. Trims 164
The long, wet, cold Spring which
has delayed planting of all kinds,
has also delayed the city’s tree
planting program. Now, however,
reports William Robertson, city
forester, 171 trees have finally
been received and planted. All 171
trees are of the varieties recom
mended by the National Shade Tree
Association as especially adaptable
to the vigors of city tree living.
Planted are 138 Norway maples,
including 57 Cleveland’s (bushy
type) and 81 Columnars (a slender
type) and 31 Ironwoods in the
American Hopthorn category. The
new plantings average five to six
feet and will attain heights of ap
proximately 25 feet.
Replaced in front of W. H. Kirk
Jr. High School were three Paul
Scarlet hawthornes, beautiful
flowering trees.
Mr. Robertson reminds that a
permit is necessary to remove or
plant a tree in the tree lawn.
Anyone desiring to plant a tree
either in the tree lawn or on his
own property is invited to consult
Mr. Robertson as to the tree best
fitted for the location, soil condi
tion, sewer connections, resistance
to disease, etc.
The city maintains a thorough
tree inspection and tree spraying
program, promptly removing any
diseased tree, and “doctoring” a
tree that can be saved.
During the first three months
of this year the Forestry Division
trimmed 164 trees and removed
seven diseased elms from
owned property.

their home as a member of
family, rather than as a guest.
Reviewing briefly the origin of
American Field Service, Mr. Blough
related how it was founded by a
group of Americans as a volunteer
ambulance service for France be
fore America became involved in
World War I. It transferred to the
American Expeditionary Forces
when the United States became a
part of that conflict. In World
War II the group reactivated.
Among the men who first volun
teered were John B. Austin, 15517
Brewster rd., and a member of
local Kiwanis the late Louis
Bromfield, Ernest Hemmingway,
to mention but a few.
At the close of hostilities, want
ing to do something to foster a
better understanding between
youth of the various nations, the
group founded American Field
Service, with foreign youth coming
here in the wiftter, and American
youth going abroad in the summer.
During the months of work on
this far-reaching service program,
the Interim Committee under the
leadership of Robert M. Kerr,
chairman of the club’s Boys and
Girls Committee, had as laison,
the AFS Cleveland representative,
Miss Madeline Williams.
But while the Interim Commit
tee as such, has completed its
assignment, Chairman Kerr is re
taining it as the Permanent AFS
Committee, ready to be of what
ever service necessary during the
youth’s stay in East Cleveland.
Willing to continue their responsi
bilities are Dr. M. Wayne Mc
queen, minister of Windermere
Methodist Church of which the
Alexanders are active members
Dr. Howard M. Wells, minister
First Presbyterian Church whose
son, Brad, had a summer experi
ence under AFS Mr. and Mrs.
Hamilton Beatty, Dr. John Culver, I
of the faculty of Case Institute of
Technology, and Mr. Blough.
Students at Shaw, with whom
Mr. Blough discussed the project,
are enthusiastic over Alf’s coming.
To acquaint him somewhat with
his coming school year, they have
sent him copies, of the Shaw Hand
book and the Shuttle. They are
also saving a berth for him on
their Student Council.
A guest membership at the
YMCA has been extended through
the courtesy of Gordon Esch,
executive secretary at the East
Cleveland YMCA.
Commenting on their endeavor
Mr. Kerr says that now, Kiwanis
having started it, it is hoped that
other community groups in the
community will find it a natural
problem of value and be another
of the sponsors for 1,000 boys and
girls, the foster sons and daughters
in homes scattered in the 48 states,
In presenting the youth to the
club Monday, Mr. Blough chose
the unique approach of the first
person, adding greatly to the pre
sentation as he told about “my
life, my country, my keen inter
est in coming to America, and my
hope of proving a good foster son
to my American foster parents.”
Mrs. Alexander was presented
with an orchid corsage.
As for Alf, he is 5 ft. 9 in. tall,
weighs 152 pounds, is a top and
“leader” student, is interested in
skiing and track, plays the clarinet,
has had five and one-half years of
English and also speaks German
and French, along with his native
Norwegian.
Among his questions are elgibil
ity in athletic contests.

School Budget
For 1957 Is
Up Slightly
of
The tentative 1957 budget
the East Cleveland School District
calls for an expenditure of $2,257
960.00 compared to the expected
$2,204,884.00 expenditure this year.
The difference is largely due to
the fact that the increased salary
cost covers but the September
December period this year, while
it will be included in each month’s
needs next year.
A public hearing on the budget
is set for Friday, June 25th at
1:30 p. m.
The board approved the 1957
budget of the East Cleveland Li
brary. It calls for an expenditure
of $209, 279 of which $196,625 is
expected to come from intangible
tax returns, the library’s only
source of income. The difference is
usually met with fines and small
gifts.
Dr. O. J. Korb, superintendent,
recommended acceptance of the
following resignations, all instruc

Bath House Job
Delays Opening
Of Shaw Pool
Honors City With Plaque
Despite the announcement made
last week by Recreation Director
Roy Wisecup that only Little
League baseball would be the at
traction at Shaw Field until the
bath house is completed, City Hall
has received calls asking if the
pool is open.
Shaw Pool cannot be opened
until the bath house is ready for
use. For the safety of the children,
the play areas at Shaw Field can
not be opened until construction
is finished and the field cleared
of equipment, etc.
While no date has been given for
the bath house completion, it will
not bo until August 1st, and it may
even be later.
Persons normally using Shaw
Playground may go to any of the
city’s other play grounds.
Stern Rubber Co
To Build Here
One of appeals heard June 12th
by the Zoning Board was rejected,
one was granted with certain re
quirements, and one is dependent
on action of the state liquor board.
The Stern Rubber Stamp Com
pany may build a rear porch on
its proposed two-story brick busi
ness-resident block to be erected
on Euclid at Chapman ave. How
ever, the board did set up certain
requirements as to material to
be used, which the company agrees
to observe.
The board rejected the appeal of
Clayton C. Moore, 1847 Idlewood
ave., to erect four garages across
the rear of his property, which
already has two garages. Side
by-side neighbors had no objection
to the garages, but the rear abut
ting neighbor did. This fact and
other circumstances decided the
rejection.
The city approved the issuing
of a C2 (carry out only) liquor
permit to James Fatica, 2088
Murray Hill, who proposes to open
a delicatessen at 16350 Euclid ave.
However, Mr. Fatica must first
receive his permit from the state.
The premises previously was
similarly licensed, but the permit
has not been active for the
two years.

This Is The
East Cleveland
We re Proud Of
Returning from New York City
one rainy evening recently, Mrs.
David Grossman was given a lift
home by an East Cleveland fam
ily, leaving her umbrella in their
automobile. She remembered the
street on which they told her they
lived, but could not recall their
name, but even so she did try to
locate them.
A few days later a neighbor
told Mrs. Grossman about find
ing an umbrella on the doorknob
on the frontdoor. She could not
imagine why or how it got there.
Yes, it was Mrs. Grossman’s um
brella, and she wishes tb say
“Thank You” to the East Cleve
landers who made the effort to
locate her home, which they saw
but once and that on a dark rainy
night.
Would you believe that a new
dress could be lost on busy Euclid
ave. for 24 hours and be found by
its owner? Sounds incredible,
doesn’t it, but it did happen.
The owner of the brand new
frock, is employed far East, and
when weather permits walks from
her apartment in the Euclid-Lee
neighborhood to Noble rd. where
she picks up a ride to her place
of employment. She returns home
by bus.
Tuesday morning, last, she took
the dress, in an ordinary grocery
store bag, to have a friend check
the pinned-up hemline. Arriving at
Noble rd. she discovered she had
lost the bag. Time did not permit
retracing of steps. By evening it
seemed useless to search for it.
The following morning, while
walking as usual toward-Noble rd.,
the owner of the dress suddenly
spied on the treelawn near Colla
mer st., a familiar brown bag, up
against a telephone pole. In it was
her dress, undamaged, although the
bag itself was damp from the
night’s rain.
